Qin Yuan can't move forward now.
You could also say he didn't really want to push through; there was a moment of hesitation in Qin Yuan as he looked up at Brother Shan, his face full of sarcasm.
"Brother Shan, I didn't expect you to be so resolute now. Initially, you weren't like this; you didn't even think of making a move."
"Now suddenly you take action, it really makes me wonder, what convinced you to act immediately? Was it reason?"
"Or was it the brotherhood between you all? Or maybe there was never any brotherhood to begin with? Just a superficial relationship?"
Qin Yuan's tone also carried a hint of coldness.
The feeling of oppression lingers as well.
But Brother Shan's expression darkened slightly.
He forced himself to calm down, then spoke earnestly.
"Yuanqing, I know you don't like seeing me side with the bald guy, but don't forget, we have always been on the same side."
